Lochcarron palette

March 18, 2023 2 min 36 s

Lochcarron mill shade card (data/sources/lochcarron-colours), measured to the fine grid; coded from the nearest Tartan Dictionary human-palette shade, named by the mill.

And plotted over the fine grid in three illuminance layers — light, mid and dark. Each wheel is one lightness layer plotted in OKLab's own dimensions: the angle is hue — red at the top, then clockwise through orange and brown, yellow, green, blue and purple, the wheel's jog order — and the radius is chroma, with rings every 0.05. The faint grey dots are the fine grid at that lightness; the red dashed line is the dyeable limit. Hover a dot for its code, name and hex. The small dots are the human palette, the full dots this palette's own shades — so you can read how it lands among the named colours.

The shades

Each shade in OKLCh — lightness L, chroma C and hue h (degrees). The small number under each is that axis's fine-grid index: the lattice level, chroma ring and snapped hue angle that together make the shade's grid code.
